    Antique Hand Made Hand Painted Cup Saucer Mexican Pottery Very Old Rare
    This piece is AMAZING. Good condition. Some small chips. No cracks!
    The minute I saw this piece in an antique shop, I knew it was hand made. Probably fired this clay in a homemade furnace. Both pieces have been hand painted. The design was similar to Tonala design. Touching this piece is amazing also. The cup (with a glossy outside glaze) has been fired to a higher temperature than the saucer (which has not been fired to a high temp and is very matte in texture). I am a retired Art teacher and know a RARE ceramic piece when I see it. And this is RARE. My immediate thoughts go to this being made in the early 1900s or late 1800s by a artisan. When I picked up the pieces, there was a card that simply said "Very Rare and Very OLD".
    Dimensions of cup: 4" x 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"
    Dimensions of Saucer: 6" x 6" x 1/2"
    This piece will be shipped by USPS, but I will definitely wrap these pieces very carefully and give extra packing.
